Predictions?

Better coverage than quakecon.

at last you said something that makes sense to me :D

1.cooller
2.cypher
3.noctis

+ I hope killsen can get a decent revenge & to see some upsets from guys like if22, strenx, zik, dtk and nike (!) =).
wow this just can't go wrong can it? <3 ESWC

arrw also should own there.

overall eswc finals skill just dropped by 50%


LCD 24'' 6ms by DELL in the tournaments areas
LCD 22'' 2ms by SAMSUNG on stage

I didn't really expect CRT monitors in USA. I doubt they have the necessary contacts there to be delivered 300+ CRT monitors : ]
In France, that's another story...

yes, but its not like there arent any better TFT/LCDs than those ;)

I have a 22' Samsung 2ms here (SyncMaster 2232BW), it's a pain to play quake on it.

:<

every samsung is still 10000x better than the dell shit:

I really hope that they won't use the dell tfts for quake.
Are you still involved with ESWC? Maybe you can pull some strings? :P

When I'm involved in ESWC, that's mainly to run a tournament. So no, I can't pull any string :p
Believe me that everyone in the ESWC staff know how much players prefer to play on CRT over TFT (that's for CS & Q3). But now that CRTs aren't manufactured anymore, it's getting harder to find a supplier who can provide enough of them. I guess it was the main problem in this case.

I am not even asking for crt displays, but better tft displays. Dell displays are the worst of the worst for gaming, any other display would be better.

Ah well, you're right yeah. Dell being the supplier for the computers of the event, I guess they made a deal.

well at least it lowers the aimwhoring does it?

=(

what would i do without my crt.

my enthusiasm for this event dropped with 20%. nike not going, killsen unsure, noctis unsure, crappy monitors. Why aren't the finals in france?! ó_ò

mine dropped by 80% even tho i might actually be going now.

good news after all. lost motivation? cmon man, it's the last big q3 tournament ever to prove yourself, isn't that a stimulator?

no

he has nothing to prove - he has proved already. it would be his last summer holiday prolly. noctis go! :)

Yes we all know he's a great player by now, but I say he can make it to the top3!

"nike not going" wont miss him after his gamgune performance.
"killsen unsure" idem
"noctis unsure" :(
"crappy monitors" :((

that's the point, nike underperformed big time, that's why I want him to go and play at his best. About killsen, you DO know he had mouse problems and forfeited his remaining games do you? Did you actually see the way he controlled vo0 on dm6 like a total noob? Without those problems I think he could've beaten both czm & zero4.

His mouse was broken? O RLY?

yeah his sens was fucked up. he gave forfeit during his game vs zero4.

sarcasm!!!!!1!1!

then why do you write about 'his gamegune performance' if it was practically non-existant?

mouse and/or drivers wasn't compatible with the eswc exe

noctis not going will regret it his whole life

haha, i certainly wouldnt regret not having to play on the worst monitors to have ever been built for gaming =)

chance of your life..you wont get in many things as good in the wolrd as on q3 ..and the last big event of the game you love ..you would regret just think when youre 100 years old and look back and just wondering would you have won maybe? or lost badly to everyone? or just had a great time wiht great people? but you never find out cause you didtn go ...
your decission

i somehow believe you love q3 quite a bit more than i do ;)


Anyway, its not really in my hand, if i can go, i will. Will hopefully know tomorrow.

I'd appreciate it if you would reply here if you know more

im going

thanks

Please send a mail to ahriman if you can't go (stating your reason).

The sooner they know, the better they can adjust groups.

Seriously..get some better monitors. It's like playing with a ball mouse..or shooting pool with a branch broken off a tree or something..it just makes it all pointless.

even with a branch broken off a tree id kick all your asses at pool
